Blurb:
Heâs the love of her life, but he doesnât know it.
Sheâs his one moment of sacrifice in a lifetime of survival.

He was damaged and wild, but resilient.
Sheâs always been obedient. Now sheâs restless.

Home for the summer between college and med school, Pearl Torres Frank knows two things: Boyce Wynn is the embodiment of everything she should run from, and everything she wants to run to. Rebellious and loud. Unconcerned with societyâs opinion of him. Passionate. Strong. Dangerous.

And one more trait he hides from everyone but her:

Sweet.

Excerpt:

Boyce watched me, a lit cigarette in one hand and a koozied beer in the other. We hadnât spoken since that kiss, other than his usual juvenile quips during biologyâthe ones that drove Mel and Mr. Quinn insane and made Landon smirk and shake his head and had me biting the inside of my cheek to suppress my smile.

At first, Iâd been confused, then disappointed, and then angry. Iâd worked my way to acceptance, like when Iâd known I was drowning and there was nothing I could do. Heâd merely gone back to being Boyce Wynn, who did what he wanted and who he wanted. And Iâd gone back to being Pearl Frankâstar student, social royalty, good girl.

But I couldnât forget that kiss. The fixed glint of his eyes across the fire said that neither could he.
